THE NAKED HUSBAND

Mark d'Arbanville decided he was no longer happy with his life--he wanted something different, someone else. What he wanted was a divorce--and to be as happy as he was before he was married. All this was the result of an affair while he was away on business. D'Arbanville's memoir provides a male point of view on a broken marriage and how men deal with their crises and their relationships with women. Humphrey Bower keeps up with all the ruminations of d'Arbanville, narrating his story with minimal emotional involvement in the needs of all the characters. In particular, he keeps to a measured pace as the author compares the women in his life, one after another. M.B.K. © AudioFile 2007, Portland, Maine [Published: OCT/ NOV 07]
